I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

This is racist, plain and simple. Trump's behavior is beneath the Office of the President. Is there anyone around him who will tell him when he’s wrong?

Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, one of the highest-ranking Black Republicans in Washington, called the video “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

Good news! Using ancient, arcane techniques known only to literally everybody who has been programming for more than 3 years, it is possible to continue programming even if your AI is unavailable!

at least 70% of the AI hype that’s bottom-up — eg, excited users — is people who never learned how to actually use their computer suddenly realizing the computer can do things for them
when most people talk about “AI,” they sound exactly like the photoshop/design clients i had in the 90s
who thought my work just involved pressing the right button and then the computer did all the work

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

I wish I had the self-confidence to just fully publicly admit that I thought facism wasn't on the rise and include "people on the internet used the word too much" as one of my primary pieces of evidence

A second American citizen has been killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis, and DHS is blocking any independent investigation. When will my Republican colleagues speak out against this chaos? This can’t continue.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.
It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.

Personally I would not love to see the US military fight the French military because I am not filled with bloodlust, but also because I don't think either military has fought a comparably trained and equipped force in 50+ years and it would probably go badly.
Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

Just read a Reddit comment from a guy saying that if a game needs to load assets in and out of RAM, it's a "basic computer science failure." Very based honestly. All games should have a total file size smaller than 2 gigabytes.

Nintendo will just shadow drop a content update for a 16-year-old game and act like everything is normal
A free update is rolling into #DonkeyKong Country Returns HD!
Swing into action as Dixie Kong in both single-player and two-player local co-op, and race through high-speed versions of each level in Turbo Attack.

Trump is invading foreign nations unprovoked and without congressional approval, siccing unmarked, masked "officers" on people without warrants, driving inflation through the roof and prosecuting the Fed for trying to curb it, and says speaking out against him is treason.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.
(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

Having a safe, affordable place to live should not feel out of reach for hardworking families. When rent hikes and mortgage payments outpace paychecks year after year, it is a sign that our housing market works better for corporations than for American families.

I'll be honest, I'm just never going to forgive anyone for not speaking up about Palestine but suddenly finding the remnants of a moral compass for one murder by the same fascism in their own lands. I'll tolerate them, I'll work with them, but it'll always remain a thing I'll think about them.
